Does anyone use Bentonite clay for hair or body? I've recently started using it for my hair and so far, I love it! I know some curlies love the Terressentials mud wash which contains bentonite but for the price, straight bentonite clay is a heck of a lot cheaper and from what I can tell, works just the same.

I use it on my face for a mask I mix it w acv and lavender eo I've seen some w honey I love it

My hair did not like bentonite clay treatment. My hair was dry and started breaking off badly, that was two weeks ago, it's just starting to get back to normal. I was really expecting it to work wonders on my hair like it did for so many other naturals. Could it have been the way that I used it. I mixed it with water then let it sit on my pre pooed hair for about 30 mins under a shower cap. As I was rinsing it out I could feel the middle section of my hair more coarse than normal.

Did I do something wrong?

___________________________________Let's see... my hair is thick, coarse with no defined curl pattern and prone to breakage I guess we can call it 4c

I wore braids until summer 2010 and I'm still learning how to care for my own hair.

I mix bentonite and rhassoul clay together and mix with aloe vera juice, an oil blend, and extracts of linden, chamomile, nettle, burdock, horsetail, marshmallow, slippery elm, and garlic. I'm not saying you have to do all that though!! Try it with aloe vera juice and some oil and see how your hair responds. The avj is a lower pH than water, closer to hair's own pH, and for me feels awesome. Good luck!

I use it sometimes. It makes my hair feel really really light and fluffy. Now I kinda want to do it tonight!
I like it to do it after cowashing all the time or having a lot of product in my hair

Just seems like I can take the easy bar route, but I'll have to try it one day soon!

I have used Fullers Earth (Hesh brand Mutlani Matti) which is a type of bentonite on my face. Fantastic, instant results. I mixed it with milk because I have dry skin.

It's remarkable as a face mask. A little dryness for a day or two, but totally worth it. I had pimples go down after one use. I just mix with h2O and leave on for ten minutes. I went a whole week with no concealer or powder. And I usually go NOWHERE without my face on...LoL
